Abstract
Adrenal incidentaloma (AI) is an incidental detection of an adrenal mass on an image not performed for a suspected adrenal problem. AI has become a commonly encountered lesion that requires further investigations for evidence of hormonal hypersecretion or malignancy potential. According to guidelines, surgical intervention is the standard of care for unilateral AI. We report on a case of a 64-year-old female who presented with a nonfunctional adrenal mass associated with compressive symptoms, which was revealed to be a mixed hyaline vascular and plasma cell variant Castleman disease (CD) after surgical resection. Although hyaline vascular variant and plasma cell variant of CD has been identified in adrenal glands, this is the first report of a mixed hyaline vascular and plasma cell variant in an adrenal mass.
